"History will not judge us kindly..."

CIA Tactics Endorsed In Secret Memos

So now it appears the Bush Administration was aware of and cooperative with the "enhanced interrogation methods" (read: torture) performed by the CIA all along. We had to all know that this was the case, but at least now there is evidence.

If history is given the chance to judge this time in American history (meaning they don't try to keep all the documents and evidence classified for the next 300 years), I think it will do so very unkindly. Our willingness to throw our values and moral high ground out the window at the first sign of danger and strife will speak volumes about the character of the nation and those who led it in the turbulent days of the last 7 years.
